You are the last of the 3 (maybe 4) boxes to unpack from moving...where the actual fuck are you?

I moved you from the "keep" pile to a similar pile, in the living room, when I had friends over almost 2 weeks ago, so we could eat and drink round the table in the conservatory.

You are not:

-In the living room
-In the understairs cupboard of doom (although there are boxes in there but I have checked them)
-In my bedroom amongst the "loft" pile or the "dd1 to sort over summer" pile
-in dd1's currently mostly empty wardrobe
-on the "tip" pile at the end of the garden
-in the loft (safety warning up there so haven't used for anything)
-back in the conservatory
-under any bed

You have certainly not been binned - I moved you with the loft boxes and other few still to be unpacked.

You contain Christmas secrets in a Lush delivery box, a large pink handbag, a 2m piece of blue fabric. Possibly something else I cannot picture.

Where the actual fuck have you gone? The house is not that big - there are only so many places you could hide!

In the garage.

That's where our missing boxes turned up, anyway!

Oooh you've moved. That's exciting. I (name changed) but been here forever) haven't been on your weekend threads for a while.... clearly longer than I realised!! Have you moved far?

I'll have to start afresh. I could picture your previous house so well....

j think your friends took it home to save you a job or DD2 has unpacked it for you, hoping to find yarn/material for something she wants you to make her 💕

Hidden out of sight in the car boot.

Still in the car of the person who helped you? I've done that.

In garage or shed?
On top of a wardrobe/cupboard?
Behind sofa?
Under some kind of tablecloth to disguise them?

We still have loads of boxes and we moved in November Blush (Renovating to be fair!) They are mostly:
in the study
between the dining table and fireplace
behind sofa
in the airing cupboard
under the breakfast bar

In a wardrobe? The car? Wheelie bin?

Balloonhearts · 28/05/2026 14:34

Behind the sofa?
Under the bed?
Unobtrusive corner of the dining room?
Garage?
On top of the kitchen cupboards?
Bottom of wardrobe?
Top of wardrobe?
Airing cupboard?

Under the dining table (well you would be in my house!)

@MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack no, we don't have one 😥. That would solve my "where to store loft boxes" problem!

@MeltyMomenrs not far from where we were - much nicer area though 😊. Dd2 is not that nice 🤣she has many boxes in her room we're not to touch until after her exams.

No car or that would be a possibility - my dad moved several car loads but has been round several times since with various things & no box.

Ooh...haven't looked in airing cupboard @Balloonhearts! Will look shortly - need to head to Tesco <sigh>.

@DilemmaDelilah nope, only four cushions under there I'm not sure about whether to keep.

We moved in March, I reckon they are in my shed which is still full of boxes.
